ConiSeafood

I'm gonna start with parking. There's space for three cars (one for the physically disabled) right in front. the catch is that it's not a parking lot but a concrete pad with no lane or drive way meaning leaving might get hairy there on the busy Imperial Highway. If you're from LA, think of how the on ramps on the 110. You're at a stop and then you hope and pray for a break in traffic but in this case, you're reversing out onto the street. I was a walk in on a weekday evening after work. It wasn't busy when I arrived but it was a full house when I left. I sat indoors, but know there's an outdoor patio in back. It appeared to be covered but I didn't walk out to look. I just peeked through the entrance way. Service was great considering it was a one man show. The gentleman was the host, server, busser and cashier. It wasn't busy at first but by the time I left, he was going back and forth dealing with the seated customers and a few who were doing take out. But he was still Johnny on the spot. Attentive. Friendly. Knowledgeable - about the menu items. And when it got busy, he was the same with the rest of the customers. As for the food - see pics. I opted for a shrimp dish with octopus and pepper (the seasoning). Had a few beer - no liquor served. Loved the flavors of the dish. So much so that was scraping the plate for the sauce with my fork for every last bit of sauce. Chips were chips and I liked the green sauce as it had a good flavor. Not hot (for me) but went well with my beer. I enjoyed the food enough to know I'll be back. But on the next visit, I'll be looking for street parking in the neighborhood because I got lucky getting back on the road from the little strip of concrete at the front of the place.

Pricing is more affordable when they offer their dine-in Dine LA week prix fixe menu. We ordered takeout and so had limited experience with service, but the staff who answered the phone was kind, prompt and very knowledgeable of the menu. The kitchen was quick, and the food is delicious, though frankly not something at a price point I would personally likely venture to on a daily basis. The exterior of restaurant is easy to almost miss from the road, since it does not particularly stand out; there is street parking as well as a few spaces right in front of the restaurant.

Had the chips and salsa, aguachiles, ceviche de pescado, and mixto soup.Chips and Salsa: chips were fresh, oily and salty in a good way. The salsa was very spicy but so good you can't stop eating them.Aguachiles: delicious and full of flavor. They were spicy but the green sauce was tasty. Nice bite size pieces. Great to share.Service: very slow and steady. Don't be in a rush or expect to eat right away.

I recently revisited ConiSeafood after about 10 years and had a mixed experience. While the menu remained familiar, the quality seemed to have declined. The service was excellent; our server was attentive and friendly, creating a pleasant atmosphere. The interior was nice, but the single, poorly maintained bathroom was a drawback. My dish, Pescado Fritos, was disappointing compared to previous visits--smaller pieces with less meat. My parents enjoyed their choices, but the dish I ordered was lacking in quality. Additionally, some plates were chipped, which detracted from the experience. Overall, I'd rate it a 3.5 out of 5. While the service and ambiance were commendable, the food quality and facilities need improvement. I'm unsure if I would return, but it might still be worth a visit for others.

Read the reviews and read the LA times articles and I made the decision to drive all the way from Encino to check this place out. I ordered the Ceviche marinero and the marlin tacos . Be warned the ceviche is out of this world. However, in all true transparency this dish will literally set your mind and body on fire . It's delicious but it's spicy hot. So if you don't or can't handle hot spicy food don't order this dish. The tacos were good little spicy too By adding cheese it just makes you taste Marlin less, the tacos is mostly cheese but they are good. The service was not bad they have an alcohol license you can order beer or a shot of tequila.It's lively place a bit loud and it's not a big restaurant they have patio outside siting as well.They receive a four star rating for two reasons.None of the servers or the menu mentioned how hot and spicy the food is.And there is no parking I can afford to pay for valley parking Just making a suggestion. Thanks for reading

Wow! I have not had flavors like this in LA. Each dish was fresh, well balanced and had huge portions. My mouth has now equalized and I'm craving more bites of these dishes! All the staff were super friendly and the ambiance is fun. We'll definitely be

Likes:+ Delicious, exotic food. I like their culinary art of mixing shrimp with sour and spicy flavors.+ Polite, helpful staff.+ Beautiful dining area in the back, designed to be a pleasant ambience decorated with nice hanging plants.Neutral:. The flavors of the green dipping sauce that comes with the chips and the Ceviche Marinero were exotic and enjoyable, yet very strong. I was able to muscle through it, but others may find the strength hard to bear. May require an acquired taste.. Here, you pay at the counter after eating instead of at your table.Non-likes:- Extortionate. With an appetizer starting off at $26.40, my wallet forbade me from ordering anything else. D: Otherwise, (if instead, an appetizer was around $5-10 and a main entree was around $15-25) I would've gladly also ordered a main entree if my total would not exceed $30.- Only one restroom. Every restaurant should have at least two.- No parking lot. The driveway before the shop entrance has barely enough room for 3 car spots. You have to find street parking, which may not be safe for everyone.Tip: The portions here seem shareable, so it's better to come to this restaurant with someone than to come alone. That way, you can enjoy a fuller meal at a more reasonable price than I did. Had I gone with another person, we would've ordered an appetizer and a main entree which would total to about $50, which wouldn't be so bad when shared among 2 people.I had:$26.40 Ceviche Marinero

**October 2024: Sunday Late Afternoon Visit**My friend and I were attending a concert at the new Intuit Dome so we were in the market for something delicious in the area. ConiSeafood came highly recommended and honestly was a 5 minute drive away from the venue, so it was perfect! On our visit we saw that the vast majority of the patrons were hispanic and spoke Spanish, so I already had a good feeling about it restauant. There are two different dining options - one inside and one with a semi-covered patio. We opted to stay indoors as the air was more consistent. We also say many articles and awards around the front-house. We sat down and were given two paper menus. After contemplating on the selection we decided to go with a the Pescado Zarandeado and Smoked Marlin Tacos. During our visit the smallest fish they had was 1.5 lbs ($60), which it probably enough for 3-4 adults. One pound would have been enough but we'll know for next time. The fish was super soft and it had a nice smokiness to it. Paired with the crisp cucumber and sweet caramelized onions and it was a heavenly meal. I do think if you take the leftovers home it does get a little bit saltier, but when served fresh it's perfect! The Smoked Marlin tacos ($23 for three) were also very good and has a unique flavor profile that other fish tacos that I've had. It's definitely good on its own, but was outshined by the Pescado Zarandeado.Service is very slow, so don't plan to be in a rush when visiting. Also, parking is very limited, but my friend and I found a spot in the neighborhood. Overall it was a great meal and I'd be interested to try some of their other dishes.

A mariscos or seafood spot in Inglewood that specializes in Nayarit style food. I've been here twice now and each time, I have come in that sweet spot between lunch and dinner so it wasn't too crowded (around 4-5pm), so each time the vibe here was pretty relaxed and chill with some families and a couple or two. Not sure if it was just because it wasn't busy, but the folks have been friendly and helpful each time I was here as well. Just great Mexican seafood in a laid back atmosphere. One of the visits related to a Yelp event, so I will focus on the items I got on my other visit and/or the items I ended ordering myself:Camarones borrachos or drunken shrimp: delicious, garlicky sauteed shrimp that had a nice kick and served with rice. I loved this dish especially served with a Modelo to wash it down. Mojarra frita or whole fried tilapia: fried perfectly and this was a sub since I was dining solo vs their specialty (whole snook). Served with plenty of limes and rice for that zest. Reminds me of a whole fried fish dish in Vietnamese cuisine, actually. I really enjoyed this and there was enough for a second meal at home, haha. A dish that I have been wanting to order, but has evaded me each time is the pescado zarandeado. A dish that is comprised of an entire snook that is butterflied and grilled, which I think is their specialty. I haven't been able to order because the size and price looks like it would at least take a two person team and I've only come here solo. It's definitely a shareable plate. Parking - there's a tiny lot out front, but of the times I've been, there's plenty of street parking nearby. It is a high speed and somewhat busy stretch of road, so just be aware and take that into consideration when trying to parallel park.

Tried to really like this place but I was not impressed. Have to wonder how the Michelin people are rating these places. To start, when we walked in there was no one at the front desk. We waited for a while until we had to walk to the back to find someone to seat us. Once we were sat, service was more attentive until we ordered. Then it was like they forgot about us. We ordered aguachiles, ceviche, and a filet de tilapia. Although the flavors were good, they were nothing special and certainly not worth the price tag. Tilapia was like $20+ for a grilled fish with a small portion of rice. I know that place costs less than $8 to make. We had to waive the waiters down to get the check. once we got it, we waited for them to return but they never did so I had to get up and go to front counter for their attention. Will not be returning unless someone else invites.
